Movie Show House Love: Paste Magazine.com's Best Movie Houses In America

Special thanks to Amanda By Night of Made For TV Mayhem for sending me the link to this neat little article about some great places to watch film across this country:
THE BEST MOVIE HOUSES IN AMERICA
Being A New Yorker, I can vouch for the long-lasting credibility of The Film Forum (Though the really long lines and comfort level is a bit of an endurance test) and in the last few years The IFC has become a nice mainstay for showing films that wouldn't ordinarily get the chance to flicker up on the screen.
Now if only we can get more movie show houses that cater to our favorite treats of past and less soulless & gross Multiplexes New York will be the force to reckon with it once was.
I would also like to add to this list:
The Brooklyn Academy Of Music's BAMcinematek Downtown Brooklyn, NY.
Often shows works by great directors and the occasional fun cult film in a well kept and atmospheric theater space.
And special kudos to City Cinema's Village East 2nd Ave & 12th St NYC
as they are one of the last theaters left in New York City to actually use real letters for their marquee. A small pleasure, but one really appreciated by me in this digital world.

About Cinema Du Meep

Cinema Du Meep revved it's way into the world in January of 2009.
In addition to working for Independent filmmakers like John Sayles, I've since largely dedicated my time with this website to help keep the memories of films past and present alive for the future.

Little old Meep was Raised in Hell's Kitchen and Brooklyn and found his true home in the dilapidated movie houses and palaces in Times Square. Being naturally drawn to the world of movie shows like a bee to honey, Meep would frequent them as much as possible; leaving himself exposed to some of the mildest and wildest sorts of films... As well as the crazies in them!

I have been have known to occasionally wander down memory lane. Care to take a trip down it with me-ep?
